What do reviewers say about Obsession and Nomadic?
Obsession doesn't invite you in, it consumes. That vanilla-civet combination is either the whole point or a dealbreaker, and the above-average longevity means whatever you decide.Obsession
Discontinued. One spray. People are still hunting for this one. Cedar and musk in the base, that combination doesn't age out. This is the fragrance that becomes your signature whether you planned it.Nomadic
